Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of flipping and tearing adhesives, and more specifically, to an easy-to-tear tape handle flipping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the 3C automation production line, it is necessary to temporarily fix some wire harnesses or connectors at a certain position with an easy-to-pull tape, and then in the subsequent workstation, the operator manually holds the tape handle and pulls it to remove the tape by losing its adhesiveness. The easy-to-pull tape is often in a flat position, and the tape handle is also attached to the flat surface. In this case, it is difficult to handle the clamping problem of the handle in automatic tape tearing. Such a step requires the introduction of automation to save labor. The device needs to clamp the handle of the easy-to-pull tape and then tear the tape. However, the handle is often in a flat position, which is not convenient for tape tearing operation.
